Our ServicesWhat is Collagen Induction Therapy

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. CIT involves using a small needle to create microscopic channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which promotes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin becomes firmer and smoother. CIT can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including acne scars, stretch marks, and crow’s feet. At Bare Body Laser, our highly skilled aesthetician offers CIT treatments that are tailored to each individual’s needs.

Collagen Induction Therapy How to prepare for an appointment

Collagen Induction Therapy can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. If you’re considering Collagen Induction Therapy, here’s what you need to do to prepare for your appointment at Bare Body Laser. First, it’s important to cleanse your skin thoroughly. Be sure to remove all makeup and oil from your face before your appointment. Next, you’ll need to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks prior to your treatment. Finally, you should avoid taking any blood-thinning medications for at least one week before your Collagen Induction Therapy appointment. By following these simple steps, you’ll be on your way to achieving optimal results from your treatment.

Collagen Induction Therapy What to expect on the day of appointment

Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the skin. The procedure involves using a device to create tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. This, in turn, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for youthful-looking skin. CIT can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage.

At Bare Body Laser, our experienced team offers CIT appointments that are tailored to each individual’s needs. We understand that every patient has different goals for their treatment, and we will work with you to ensure that you get the best possible results. During your appointment, one of our certified technicians will cleanse your skin and then apply a topical anesthetic. Once your skin is numbed, the technician will use the CIT device to create hundreds of tiny punctures in the surface of your skin. The entire procedure takes about an hour to complete, and most patients report little to no discomfort during treatment. After the procedure, your skin may appear red and swollen, but this should resolve within a few days. You may also experience some minor bruising or crusting, but these side effects will also subside in time.

Collagen Induction TherapyAfter Care Tips

Aftercare for Collagen Induction Therapy is relatively simple though extremely important. For the first 24 hours after treatment, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. You may also want to apply a thin layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor to help protect the skin. It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area, but this should resolve within a few days. It is important to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 48 hours after treatment, and to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 whenever you are outdoors. Collagen Induction Therapy can help you achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin – and with proper aftercare, you can enjoy your results for months to come!
